Chromium Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Chromic Chloride Injection
INDICATIONS
AND USAGE
Chromium 4 mcg/mL (Chromic Chloride Injection, USP) is indicated
for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for total parenteral
nutrition (TPN). Administration helps to maintain chromium serum levels and
to prevent depletion of endogenous stores and subsequent deficiency symptoms.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Chromium 4 mcg/mL (Chromic Chloride Injection, USP) contains
4 mcg chromium/mL and is administered intravenously only after dilution. The
additive should be administered in a volume of fluid not less than 100 mL. For
the adult receiving TPN, the suggested additive dosage is 10 to 15 mcg chromium/day
(2.5 to 3.75 mL/day). The metabolically stable adult with intestinal fluid loss
may require 20 mcg chromium/day (5 mL/day), with frequent monitoring of blood
levels as a guideline for subsequent administration. For pediatric patients,
the suggested additive dosage is 0.14 to 0.20 mcg/kg/day (0.035 to 0.05 mL/kg/day).
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate
matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container
permit. See PRECAUTIONS.
